Jedi Order was most impressive during TOR era; produced lot of great warriors during this time.
Another time when Jedi Order was impressive was during Great Hyperspace War and much earlier during Force Wars.
Also, I refuse to believe that Yoda was class of his own. He wasn't effective enough to justify the hype he received. In-fact, Mace was better warrior then him.

Also, it is possible for Vitiate's Sith Empire to defeat Palpatine's Great Galactic Empire in a war regardless of technological disparity between them which isn't big actually. Vitiate's Sith Empire was equipped with ample technological wonders, superweapons and kick-@ss Force-users.
It does. Vitiates Empire will be crushed in fleet engagements and then what are they gonna do? Having loads of Sith are good for ground engagements, but ground engagements depend upon the fleet to get them onto planets. Vitiates Empire has the Dread Masters and superweapons, but they cannot be everywhere at once.

Really? Tell that to the militarily and technologically superior Germans when they were getting their asses handed to them by the overwhelming numbers of the Rooskies at Stalingrad.
You cannot expect one great power to fight wars against several other great powers and win.
Stalingrad is just one battle; Hitler made some bad decisions which led to defeat of Germans on Eastern front. In-fact, Hitler had too many enemies to contend with.You cannot expect one great power to fight wars against several other great powers and win.

Also, you are mistaken if you think that Empire will be crushed in fleet engagements; Sith Empire also have enormous resources under its disposal. In-fact, Empire's harrower-class dreadnaughts can hold their own against any dreadnaught of Great Galactic Empire. Sith Empire can also send lot of Force-users to infiltrate important assets of Great Galactic Empire to sabotage/destroy them internally.

In the context of story, an insignificant rebellion defeated the mighty Great Galactic Empire. Do the math.
Dread Masters have much greater reach with their powers then any warship. On top of this, Vitiate himself can orchestrate a ritual with aid of his minions which would consume all life on Galactic scale barring him.

Except the sad fact is that the Russians didn't need the Allies when you look back at the entirety of the war.

Sooner or later (thanks to the Allies tying up Italy in Africa and the Japanese, sooner), the superior numbers of the Russians would have overwhelmed the Germans. It wasn't an issue of if, but when. In this case, the GE is both technologically and numerically superior. I'd say vastly superior because of the almost 4,000 years that have passed in terms of technological advances.
1. Enormous amount of German resources were deployed in Europe and Africa to confront Allied Forces. USSR itself represented a gigantic target so Germany shouldn't have messed with it until or unless it would have defeated its other enemies in the war.
2. German forces were ill-equipped to deal with harsh climatic conditions of USSR; Russians took advantage of this situation.
3. Tactical blunders of Hitler; he often refused to listen to his competent generals.

No! Germans lost because of following reasons:-1. Lot of its resources were deployed in Europe and Africa to confront Allied Forces.
2. German forces were ill-equipped to deal with harsh climatic conditions of USSR; Russians took advantage of this situation.

He wasn't able to do it against a fragmented empire. There's little to no chance he'd be able to do it against a monster like the GE, with Palpatine at its helm. That's reaching, Legend.
Vitiate's grand plan failed due to Scourge's betrayal. Scourge actually set the stage for his downfall.

The arsenal of the GE and more importantly, the number of technologically advanced warships they possess, will make it a slaughter if Vitiate's Empire didn't have tens of thousands of force users or the dread masters.

This is blatantly misleading and completely useless for you to point out seeing as how 100% of the people on this forum have seen the movies and know this is not the case. The rebels succeeded in destroying the Death Stars. That's it. The empire collapsed on itself and even then, they had more than enough capabilities to render the rebels extinct.
On the whole, Rebels performed really well against such a mighty Empire with such limited resources. Leadership is very important for success in wars; with Sidious out of the picture, Empire lost its effectiveness.

You damn know what I meant, we were discussing numbers.All of those reasons contributed to the Germans' defeated but they weren't necessary. The numbers game was going to happen.
In-fact, their are many examples in history which prove that superior leadership is more important then superior numbers to win wars.
Have you even played SWTOR?Vitiate's grand plan failed due to Scourge's betrayal. Scourge actually set the stage for his downfall.
Rebels destroyed much more then Death Stars; they felled many dreadnaughts of the Great Galactic Empire as well including the famous Executor-class dreadnaught.

No! If Germany had focused only on USSR, it would have won. Germany lost because it took chances against several great powers simultaneously.
